"Alex was excellent. He responded immediately, always answered the phone when I called, went out of his way to see me after hours on my schedule to get me an estimate, gave me a price well below the competitors. His team worked very quickly and efficiently, and we're working literally every moment they were on the property; lunch breaks were staggered so work was always happening. They did great work, cleaned up well, and solved my problem. They were 100% "can do" and I would recommend them again. I even offered to be a reference. Alex is a great project manager!"

"Professional! Timely! They were the only contractor, whose estimator got out his ladder, got to the specific areas of concern, took pictures to show me and actually found a couple of small issues to add to the list. Plus upon signing the contract, I received a call the same day for them to come and complete the work. Would recommend them highly!!"

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

You install a window well 8 to 12 inches deeper than the base of the window sill. After filling the well with drainage rock, the well should sit 3 inches below the bottom of the window. The top of the window well should also be at least 3 inches higher than the surface-grade ground. The window well should be about 6 inches wider than the window opening.

The entire window replacement process, from the initial consultation to the final installation, typically takes between four and 15 weeks. This timeline accounts for measuring appointments, ordering, and manufacturing. On the day of the job, the physical installation takes about 30 minutes to two hours per window. A full-house replacement can take one to three days to complete. Factors that can extend this timeline include the total number of windows, custom sizes, complex window types, second-story installations, and any necessary repairs to existing window frames or openings.

There are a few ways to save money on egress window installation. First, choosing pre-fabricated windows instead of custom windows can help dramatically reduce the overall cost. In addition, skipping window extras, like customized frames or window film, can help save money on the price tag without sacrificing the window itself. You should also shop around to multiple window installers to find the best installation deal without sacrificing the quality of the window.

The proper way to install a window well is to measure the window, dig a hole deeper and wider than the window, place a drainage tube and cap, anchor the well to the foundation, caulk the seam, and backfill the hole. The job requires tools such as a hammer drill and auger and some heavy digging. Proper placement and window well installation are critical to preventing water from leaking into the window.

Yes, egress windows are grandfathered. However, this comes with some specifications. If you are remodeling a basement or adding a sleeping area, you’ll need to update the egress windows to be up to proper code. But, if you’re leaving your home as is, you do not have to adhere to these requirements.
